A Study of Avionics Time Division Multiplex Bus Simulation.
Abstract
The multiplex data bus system is a collection of electronic devices which send or receive signals for encoding and/or decoding; also, the system is capable of storing for future dispersal messages which arrive simultaneously. The components of the multiplex system are: (1) the bus controller, (2) remote terminals, (3) subsystems which may have embedded remote terminals, and (4) the data bus. An overview of several current simulation languages is presented in Chapter II. In Chapter III, the general views of MUXSIM and the analysis of the dynamic part of the MUXSIM system are described in detail. The purpose of the dynamic MUXSIM (MUXDA and MUXDB) is to model the time-variant or stochastic aspects of the system and to obtain the simulation results on such system parameters as queue size, time delay, system failure, etc. In Chapter IV, a programming example of a single queue, single bus is presented in FORTRAN IV, and three different simulation languages, (GASP IV, SIMSCRIPT II, and GPSS II). Chapter V is a comparative study of the simulation languages based on the results of Chapter IV. Recommendations regarding the choice of a language for multiplex simulation are included.
